Sunset at Red Wharf Bay Anglesey Wales

Thanks for all your visits and comments!

Taken this morning just as the sun rose and lit up this opening hibiscus flower.

This old lighthouse is the first in all of North America to greet the rising sun. It's located on the cliffs at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, the eastern-most point on the continent.

First photo at 6.45am this morning

The first owners or builder of this house planted croscomia just outside our front door. And each summer they return.

 

After donning a face mask for wandering pollen, I waited for a hummingbird to finish exploring the only flower, and then stepped outside into the shade. Love these vivid and unique buds, native to the grasslands of southern and eastern Africa.

It's November 22 and the snow has fallen since early this morning. The first snow is always so spectacular, so fresh and clean. Taken in Mississauga, Ontario, just west of Toronto. 1st place winner, Baby It's Cold Outside contest, Daarklands group. Dec. 2021.

First time using photo merger from 10 vertical shots. Accepting recommendations to make the process easier. It took me forever working from raw files, which generated a huge file.

I visited photogenic Lai da Palpuogna a second time after it had snowed. Meanwhile I‘ve returned home (Heidi is very happy 😸) and there are loads of photos to sort through now...

The Damrak houses first introduced me to the Dutch word gezellig (meaning cozy or homely) I was always wandering in from the train station after dark and I would constantly stop and stare at these houses thinking it felt like an incandescent oasis in a city of fluorescents, warming the night and the Damrak with its soft glow.

 

When you walk by during the day usually things are shut tight against the throngs of tourists walking back and forth from the central station but at night when the crowds have dissipated the curtains open and the world seems to be welcome to become a witness to the nocturnal activities of the residents.

 

The Damrak historically was originally part of the Amstel river below the Dam that gave Amsterdam its name, Rak means a straight stretch or place to gain speed, so the Damrak was actually the straight piece of river below the Dam across the Amstel where sailors would pick up some speed on their home stretch to the port of Amsterdam.

 

I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 44mm 25 sec f/11 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

In a summer of hot humid days and drenching rain, my first Sunflower to join all the other flowers in my garden; happy days.

A Monday daybreak near Vlaardingen :-)

First light. Creative edit of a Eucalyptus tree bark section. Through my eyes and lens it is a landscape scene in early morning light.

After a clear night dawn painted the scene in golden red

Jeweled with raindrops, this lovely tulip is the first to bloom this year in my San Francisco garden.

 

Happy Macro Monday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Early morning when I went for a walk ( exercise ) around the Hamilton Lake I spotted this guy trying to catch a fish....!

 

May 30, 2019 was a good day at our house, I came home from work and discovered this new born by our driveway. A few hours later and twins were born in the backyard.

It's been over a year since frost first appeared.

 

This is one of the pictures I took on the first day I used my new camera. At dawn, I went to a lake to see sunrise. Steam was coming off of the surface of the lake. Frost formed across the field surrounding the lake. Then I went to a nature park for hiking. The frost didn't melt for a while. In this picture, you see yellow foliage, a metal fence, and a frosty lawn in the background. My fingers and feet were numb with cold. I couldn't help going ahead because the frosty sight was beautiful under sunshine.

 

P.S., This picture was taken on the second weekend of October instead of November. I had my camera mistakenly set the date for a month during the first few weeks of use.

I hope this Daffodil is tooting the first notes of Spring. Thanks for the Look and have a great evening.

A muggy morning in the summer of 2013 finds 23 cars worth of Q339 being pulled out of the east siding at South Deshler with CSXT 8098 providing all the necessary muscle. I offer this as a submission for "Forty Friday" for more than just the obvious reason. The 8098 was built in 1980, making 2020 its 40th birthday. However, I can't find any photos of it more recent than 2016, so I have to assume its rotting in a deadline somewhere, or worse...

'Last Sun' and 'First Light' is a series of photos taken on Dec. 31, 2022 and Jan. 1st, 2023.

On both days, I used a fixed camera setting to take the photos, resulting sometimes in over- or underexposure.

 

It is interesting how the fixed settings (aperture, exposure time and iso) reflect the mood, lightness or dimness of the respective days.

 

'Last Sun' was taken with a 35mm lens, iso 100, f.8 and 1/60.

'First Light' was taken with a 70-200mm lens, iso 160 (400 for the darkest shades), f.4 and 1/200.

 

No cropping (3x2) except occasional 4x3.

First swan this year Sucha a graceful bird as always.

 

Happy Friday!

Otters at Satay by The Bay fighting over a tasty morsel. Unfortunately that's the end of my short interlude on "Nature/ Wildlife", should really be photographing more but too caught up with work/ other commitments. :(

Qatar airways Doha to London

This was my first camera. My parents gave it to me as a child 46 years ago. With it I photographed my entire family for years. How many beautiful memories!

PS: And it still works of course!
